Getting On

It's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's a new ward. King Edwards has shut, B4 is no more. Kim, Den and Pippa have moved to neighboring St Jude's in anticipation of a now stalled re-development. Their new home, twin bayed K2, is modern and clean. All appears well. But behind the glossy façade lie the same old patients and problems.

Another shift, another shuttle bus to miss. The appearance of Dr Kersley and his commissioning consortia plans hints at the changes ahead for B4. Elsewhere Den enjoys her new found treats, nice Damaris has her feet firmly under the desk, Kim makes a bold career move, and Pippa deals with a pressing legal issue.

Hypochondriacal Mrs Dethick is re-admitted adding to Den's problems. Kim finds help from an unexpected quarter while Hilary is a man on a mission as the different designations of waste offer him a way back onto the ward. Megan is having trouble drumming up support for the forthcoming strike, in contrast to Pippa who benefits from previously unseen talents hidden away on K2.

A tough day on the ward. Kim has given up smoking and is feeling the effects, Den has a secret she's trying to hide, Pippa has a moment, or two, and Hilary is out on the prowl looking for cuts. Matters come to a head on the ward with the arrival of a private patient and the search for a side ward, Dr Kersley applying the pressure.

A few days have passed and the storm clouds have continued to gather. Damaris has gone, Megan is angry, Den is playing games, and Mrs Dethick is back on the ward. On a positive note, Hansley has turned out to be something of a star turn and the Vag-At is going from strength to strength. Or it was until a mix up with the Oncology Christmas card competition leads to complications.

A full house as artist Dylan Schwartz and his assistant Elke arrive on K2 to set up a kids art project. Elsewhere Pippa is attracting the attention of Dr Kersley and Obstetrician Dr Tatty Oxford, who in turn has a surprise of her own to spring on Den. Kim confesses that Dave has been offered a job in Iraq, Den ponders her own unexpected news, and Pippa makes a discovery of a different kind.
